8:00 am. In high school, I was already in second period. In high school I woke up at 6:00 am, brushed the sleep out of my eyes and headed out for what was sure to be an excellent day. High school. High. School. I don't know why but as soon as you enter the college years, anything before noon constitutes as early rising. Getting up knowing that the time is still in single digits feels almost impossible. Today, 8:00 am hit me like a brick wall.
"But Stephen, why were you up at such an ungodly hour?"
Great question, mythical blog reader! The answer to that is actually quite simple. I am an environmental geoscience major and I'm planning on saving the world! And since the world does not wait for anybody to wake up when their body wills it, sometimes you have to force yourself up, get out of bed, and trudge through a park in the rain in order to collect data on a stream.
As much as I may have complained about the prospects of waking up with the roosters (anyone who knows me knows that I do NOT do well with mornings, especially the early ones, see: Lucky Charms Incident of 2011), my field trip was seriously enjoyable. Traipsing around a park, playing with mud, surveying a wetland, getting Dunkin from your professor....the list goes on and on. For some reason, I spent the entire four hours on my field trip with this song stuck in my head hahaha
Turning to a more serious matter, I must acknowledge the fact that I have not blogged anything in the past few weeks (I'm pretty sure I stopped as soon as school began). However, seeing how the lack of Steve's blog didn't work for some people (a certain Ray of Sunshine and pretty little Riss), I finally caved into their constant nagging and am writing this post. Because I am currently working Sunday nights in a job that is in all honesty a six hour block for homework time, and because I have a paper due that I am incredibly reluctant to begin I have decided to keep with the tradition of Sunday night blogging! There will be one change, and I hope it doesn't deter you (my millions of readers) from continuing to read my blog. Obviously I am at school for the rest of the year (or so I hope), which means that I am technically not gardening regularly, or at all for that matter. With that in mind, it seems as if I am lying to you if I do not change the name of my blog. No decisions have been made as of yet, but here are some titles I'm working on:
- Well, the kids can't check themselves into Mary House: The Justification of Steve's work-study
- Trials and Tribulations of a Rat Worker
- Rocks on Rocks on Rocks with Steve
- Danger! Danger! Danger!
It think it's pretty clear that I am still working on an actual title...
